You're on the phone with your girlfriend,She's upset,She's going off aboutSomething that you said,'Cause she doesn't get your humorLike I do.I'm in my room,It's a typical Tuesday night,I'm listenin' to the kind of music she doesn't like,And she'll never know your storyLike I do.

But she wears short skirts,I wear t-shirts.She's cheer captain andI'm on the bleachers,Dreamin' 'bout the dayWhen you wake up and findThat what you're looking forHas been here the whole time.

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you,Been here all along so why can't you see,You belong with me.You belong with me.

Walkin' the streets with youand your worn-out jeans,I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be,Laughing on a park bench Thinking to myself,"Hey isn't this easy"And you've got a smile thatCould light up this whole town,I haven't seen it in a whileSince she brought you down.You say you're fine,I know you better than that.Hey, whatcha doin' with a girl like that?

She wears high heels,I wear sneakers.She's cheer captain andI'm on the bleachers,Dreamin' 'bout the dayWhen you wake up and findThat what you're looking forHas been here the whole time.

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you.Been here all along so why can't you seeYou belong with me?

Standing by,Waiting at your back door,All this time how could you not knowBaby, you belong with meYou belong with me.

Oh, I remember you driving to my houseIn the middle of the night.I'm the one who makes you laughWhen you know you're 'bout to cry.And I know your favorite songs,And you tell me 'bout your dreams.Think I know where you belong,Think i know it's with me.

Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you,Been here all along so why can't you see,You belong with me.

Standing by,Waiting at your back door,All this time how could you not knowBaby, you belong with me.You belong with me.

You belong with me.Have you ever thought just maybe,You belong with me?You belong with me.
